In the Star Luo Empire section, the Star Luo Empire's representative slowly sat down, his fists clenched.
"What is Spirit Hall trying to do? Is this a show of force against us or something?!" the Star Luo representative gritted out.
At the same time, he now understood most directly why Spirit Hall was the continent's number one power. With such strength, if they were not the continent's foremost power, then who could be?!
People often said that the structure of Douluo Continent was one hall, two empires, and seven great sects. Now, he finally understood.
That statement was not wrong in the slightest. Spirit Hall's foundations ran deep, and today they had revealed themselves completely—seven Titled Douluo!
Among them was even Qian Daoliu, invincible in the skies!
Every other faction that had come to observe the ceremony was profoundly shocked, all sharing the same doubt in their hearts. This was Spirit Hall?!
As for Spirit Hall's soul masters, they felt nothing but excitement. This was the foundation of their Spirit Hall, and they took pride in it!
The wedding carriage escorted by the Spirit Hall Knights gradually arrived at the edge of the central square.
Everyone's eyes turned toward it, all curious about the bride's identity. Just who was she, to become the Pope's wife?!
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao looked over as well. For some reason, the more Tang Hao looked at that figure, the more familiar she seemed...
His chest throbbed with pain again and again. It was an old ailment that had flared up often over the past year—a sickness of the heart.
Seeing that the wedding carriage had finally arrived, Qian Xunji walked toward it step by step. He then took A Yin's hand and led her to the very center of the square, the most eye-catching spot of all!
"A Yin!" Tang Hao murmured under his breath. That familiar feeling had not been wrong. The bride was actually A Yin?!
"This..." Tang Xiao's face was full of astonishment. He had seen A Yin clearly as well. How could the bride be her?!
"Spirit Hall values rules above all else. Spirit Hall's Grand Worshipper would never allow his son to marry a soul beast."
"What exactly is going on?" No matter how Tang Xiao thought about it, he could not understand. Back when they had left, they had assumed that A Yin had already become a soul ring and soul bone.
Yet after more than a year apart, A Yin had transformed and become the most noble woman on Douluo Continent—indeed, in the entire soul master world!
A soul beast had actually become the Pope's wife?
She was the wife of Spirit Hall's Pope. Even their father, Tang Wei, would have to respectfully bow to her upon meeting her.
And more than a year ago, who had A Yin been? She had merely been a young girl with little experience of the world. The change was simply too immense.
"A Yin..." Tang Hao's eyes turned bloodshot, and he panted like a bull. He immediately tried to rise, but Tang Xiao restrained him.
"Useless fool!" Tang Xiao snapped in disappointment, slapping Tang Hao across the face. "You're still as pathetic as ever! The moment you see this woman, you can't even move your legs. It's been over a year, and you still haven't gotten over her!"
"Where do you think this is? Is this a place for you to make trouble? If you dare cause a scene here, do you believe Qian Daoliu could take up his sword and wipe out our Clear Sky Sect?!"
Tang Hao gradually calmed down. He did not know why, after more than a year, seeing A Yin again had revealed that her identity had undergone such a heaven-shaking transformation. She had become the Pope's wife?
At the thought that the woman he once loved had become Qian Xunji's woman and would bear his children, an inexplicable fury surged within him. He wanted to destroy everything!
"Hao, calm down. This is not a setting where you can act recklessly! We represent the Clear Sky Sect!"
"Yes, Big Brother." Tang Hao lowered his head, not daring to look at A Yin and Qian Xunji, who stood beneath the gaze of the masses. He feared that he would not be able to hold himself back and would cause a massive scene here.
And judging by the situation, A Yin seemed very happy?
In the end, we were fated to meet but not to be together... It would have been better if you had become a soul ring or soul bone. But why... why did you become Qian Xunji's wife?!
On the high platform, A Yin looked sweetly at Qian Xunji. They had finally reached this point...
Qian Xunji gazed back at her tenderly. Then the two of them knelt on one knee toward Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back and slowly spoke. "Are you willing..."
Among the seats reserved for the worshippers, Qian Renfeng sat in Light Feather Douluo's arms, watching the scene before him without anyone knowing what he was thinking.
Very soon, the wedding entered its next stage.
Chrysanthemum Douluo strode forward, took out a list of congratulations, and read aloud, "Presenting gifts: the Heaven Dou Empire's representative presents a glazed gold hairpin..."
"The Star Luo Empire's representative..."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's representative..."
"The Clear Sky Sect's representative..."
The first several people carrying the gifts forward were, astonishingly, all Titled Elder members of Spirit Hall. The rest were Soul Douluo of considerable strength.
"This... this..." The people from the Heaven Dou Empire stared at the scene. "Just how many Titled Douluo does Spirit Hall have?"
Today was Qian Xunji and A Yin's wedding, but it was also Spirit Hall's chance to flex its muscles. Since they were showing their strength, naturally they would display it thoroughly!
"There are already more than a dozen Titled Douluo here alone. How many more does Spirit Hall have?!"
"Spirit Hall cannot be opposed! We absolutely cannot become their enemies! We had always underestimated this guardian of Douluo Continent, and underestimated their true strength as well!"
Many people shared this thought. Their trip here today had truly opened their eyes. Once they brought the information back to their respective factions, they would leave it to those above them to handle.
The wedding ended quickly, but no one present could calm down for a long time.
No wonder Spirit Hall had been able to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect overnight. No wonder... now it all made perfect sense!
It was fortunate that Spirit Hall had no ambitions of conquest. Otherwise, what place would there be left for their two great empires?!
With the wedding over, it was naturally time for the banquet. The central square was obviously only a place to observe the ceremony; the meal would be held elsewhere.
Qian Xunji took A Yin's hand and boarded the wedding carriage. The carriage slowly left the central square, its destination none other than Spirit Hall's largest hotel!
Outside the square stood dense crowds of Spirit City's residents. If not for the Security Team maintaining order,
the place would likely have descended into chaos long ago.
"Your Holiness the Pope... Your Holiness the Pope's wife!" someone shouted loudly. He had finally seen the Pope and the Pope's wife's true faces.
Qian Xunji looked at A Yin beside him and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. They are all your people."
As he spoke, Qian Xunji waved toward the residents of Spirit City beyond the square. Seeing this, A Yin did the same.
She was especially nervous today. Even though the wedding had ended and only the final banquet remained, she was still terribly nervous.
"His Holiness the Pope and Her Holiness the Pope's wife responded to us! May His Holiness the Pope be well, may Her Holiness the Pope's wife be well..."
"This is what they call winning the people's hearts, isn't it?" Qian Xunji said with a smile as he looked at them.
